Halloween has come, and it's time to dress up as something really scary. A zombie is just the thing. Here is how I did my makeup, as well as some tips on how to dress.

Steps

1

Start out with pale powder or foundation. Spread it unevenly about the face and neck, and optionally spread it on the arms too.

2

Line the eyes at the top and bottom as well as the top of the eyelid with black or brown eyeliner, (Black will look more dramatic, but brown will look more natural.

3

Next put a circle of a light color on the center of the eyelid, and add a dark color before blending away at the harsh edges. Optionally finish off the eyes by adding black or brown mascara.

4

Sweep a rust color into the natural dark circle area. Feel free to enlarge it a bit to make it look more like a zombie's eyes. Blend away the harsh edges a bit, but leave the color still looking strong and sharp.

5

Sweep lines of the same color on each side of the nose. Blend away. This gives the nose a sharp, pointy look.

6

Blush is right out when it comes to being a zombie, but to create a dramatic effect, suck in the hollows of the cheeks and sweep bronzer into the hollows of the cheeks.

7

Now for the lips. Lip liner is optional, but a good idea. I used red. Having lined the lips, fill the lips in with black, blue, or purple lipstick or lip gloss. If using lipstick, feel free to add a dark color lip gloss over it to give it a glossy sheen.

8

Now the fun part. Add random splotches of color over the face, especially in blue and green. Also add red lip liner in crooked lines all over the face for marks of blood.

9

Optionally, add a final coat of light powder over the face for a finishing touch. Have fun with your new look.

10

As far as clothing goes, start with plain tee-shirts and pants in dark colors and rip them up as desired. I recommend Generation T, a great book on how to take old Tee-shirts and transform them into new clothes. Have fun!
